Lately, between work,stressing out over trying to get financing on a business deal and training I have just been exhausted. My work-out pace-times have dropped off and my "race-pace" sets are either agonizing or just disappointing. This is from a peak about a month ago when I was swimming seconds faster than my projected race pace on all my 50s,75s, and 100s
So what's the solution? Bumble on through the rough spot and hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel? Stop training for a week or more and recover? Switch training to something else altogether? Or maybe pick the pace up and punish my old bones into obeying the master plan?

Have you ever tried meditation? One of the standard introductions is to count your breaths. I just slow down a bit and count my strokes, and let that settle me down from whatever's been stressing me. Focus on the little things like s/l or rotation, and let go of your goals for a couple of weeks.
